OK Andy,, I guess a joke is only funny when the other person gets it.We are OK and will move on from here.
Just a little side note on the cheap walbro fuel pump that everyone uses. In the winter or if I know I am going to not race for weeks I take them off and flip it so the inlet is up and pore marvels mystery oil in them. About once a day you will have to add more oil as it works its way down in the pump. I think what this does is penetrate the seals and o-rings in the fuel pump and then the alky is not able to dry them out. Because marvels mystery oil and alky don't mix? I have been running the same pump for over two years now. Maybe I just have a good pump but I will keep doing this?

After reading 16 pages of post which took 1hr. and 1/2. Here are some of my observations.
1. Computer keyboard salvo wars never settle anything.
2. We need a common set of rules so we can travel to different race tracks if we want to.
3. I too have a Engler mechanical fuel injection system (oh my God!!!). My car is about 95% done getting closer to the other 5%. Probably be legal to drive around my back yard. Have to check with my Competition Director on that one ( Wife ).
4. Made two trips to MALS races Mark and Phil are real nice people they're passionate about saving our lightning sprint class.
5. Haven't ever met you Andy but have met your brother he's also a nice fellow hope he gets better and gets back to racing.
6. Went to two MALS races to personally meet with Mark & Phil to see if I could race my ENGLER ( oh my GOD!!! #2 ) injected car with them in 2014 with a 50 lb. wgt. penalty. Meeting was highly productive.
7. As far as the poor guy that started this thread on page 1 he inadvertantly started an uproar with keyboard salvos possible fist fights and whatever.
8. Mike Dicely builds nice race cars and they have won a lot of races but so have Stallard, Sawyer, Factor 1, Triple X and so on.
9. I too have a lay down radiator in my GRP Lightning Sprint my car builder has been putting them in his race cars for years (Champ Cars,Sprint Cars, Midgets, even my boys micro which I've started to put together.
10. Finally from what I see we all need to come together to save our class of racing. Too many people have left our sport for Sprint Cars. Some will spend a lot more money than we do but won't have the bickering and fighting that I have read for the 1 and 1/2 hrs.
